Tim Atherton, Senior Lecturer of Low Brass recently had his book published by BearManor Media. Leave It To Me… My Life In Music is the as-told-to autobiography of music legend Donn Trenner. At 88, Donn is professionally active and living in Connecticut. Mr. Trenner lived most of his working life in Los Angeles, New York and Las Vegas, while traveling the world as Musical Director for celebrity entertainers including: Shirley MacLaine, Nancy Wilson, Tony Bennett and Ann-Margret. His bands were integral in the pioneering television shows of Bob Hope and Steve Allen. As a jazz pianist, Donn recorded with Charlie Parker, Chet Baker, Stan Getz and Charles Mingus. This book is a recounting of a life well-lived by a distinctively talented musician. Tim was inspired to write Donn Trenner’s story capturing this unique tale of American musical history.

“Dartmouth’s capacity to advance its dual mission of education and research dependsupon the full diversity and inclusivity of this community. We must increase diversity,particularly among our faculty and staff. As we do so, we must also create a communityin which every individual, regardless of gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, disability, nationality, political or religious views, orposition within the institution, is respected. On this close-knit and intimate campus, wemust ensure that every person knows that he, she, or they is a valued member of ourcommunity.

Diversity and inclusivity are necessary partners. Without inclusivity, the benefits ofdiversity—an increase in understanding, improvement in performance, enhanced innovation, and heightened levels of satisfaction—will not be realized.” - PresidentPhilip Hanlon ’77 - Excerpt from May 2016 Letter to the Dartmouth community
